University of Lynchburg
The mathematics major seeks to support the University mission by maintaining a strong commitment to the importance of the liberal arts. Since four of the seven original liberal arts (arithmetic, geometry, astronomy, and logic) were mathematical in nature, mathematics has always played an important role in the study of the liberal arts. When properly presented, a mathematics course encompasses the principles of a liberal arts education using logic, numerical concepts, algebraic and geometric principles, mathematical modeling, and sequential development.
